Thanks, everyone! Very glad you all liked it. laugh I personally love Turkish Delight - we spent a month backpacking around Turkey for our honeymoon and visited Istanbul again with our son last year. Hopefully, Virginia, you can find a way to string all of those deleted scenes into one comprehensive nfic tale...the other side of the boards can always use new stories!

My husband teaches second grade. wink Plus, every kid my age in the '70s knows all about Schoolhouse Rock. Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here! Slight grammatical errors personally don't bother me at all (except for "alot"...oooooooh, it drives me insane when my students misspell that!), but I thought it would be a fun jumping off point for the story. laugh

You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie. wink
